Asia Pacific Semiconductor Memory Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence
The Asia Pacific Semiconductor Memory Market size is estimated at USD 44.66 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 107.03 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 19.1% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
- The market has different types of memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, NOR Flash, NAND Flash, ROM, and EPROM. Semiconductor memory refers to various electronic data storage devices that find applications as computer memory in computers (PCs and laptops), consumer devices (cameras and phones), commercial IT applications (telecom and data centers), traditional industrial applications, and the emerging spectrum of IoT applications.
- The automotive sector is witnessing increased demand for DRAM semiconductors. One of the major factors driving the demand is the growing emphasis on autonomous driving technologies with built-in 5G infrastructure. For instance, Tesla has adopted Nvidia’s CPU and GPU solutions, which drove them to incorporate GDDR5 DRAM products.
- Semiconductor memories have become a key component of success in data centers that store and manage data. Memory devices are expected to handle huge volumes of data with high bandwidth, and high performance has to be demonstrated with optimized cost and low power consumption.
- Also, the rapid expansion of data centers in the region is expected to be among the most significant drivers behind this growth, as data centers are growing continuously due to digitization and information technology scale-up. For instance, in March 2023, OVHcloud announced the construction of its first data center in India as part of its Asia-Pacific expansion plans. The company will also deploy two additional data centers in Australia and Singapore.
- The industrial sector in Asia-Pacific has also witnessed significant growth due to the technological transformation of the industrial sector toward Industry 4.0. It is, hence, expected to become a significant demand driver for semiconductor memory as more and more electrical/electronic devices are being incorporated into industries to support automation, AI, and analytics solutions.

Cell phone subscriptions in China stood at 234.06 million units in January and February 2024, Such trends create a favorable scenario for the growth of the market.
- According to IBEF, India aims to achieve electronics manufacturing worth USD 300 billion in electronics exports of USD 120 billion by FY26. Additionally, in 2022-2023, India produced wearables such as earphones and smartwatches worth USD 970.31 million.
- Smart cities and smart homes are among the latest trends in consumer electronics. As these trends govern a higher adoption of connectivity technology in consumer appliances, household appliance manufacturers increasingly focus on integrating IoT technologies with products to help consumers stay connected with their homes.
- Several leading players are focusing on strategic partnerships and expanding their regional production capacities to fulfill the growing demand. For instance, in March 2023, Winbond and STMicroelectronics announced a strategic alliance to combine high-performance memory with STM32 devices in consumer and smart industrial applications.
China to Hold Significant Market Share
- Technological development in the consumer electronic device industry over the years has facilitated widespread adoption of these devices, which, in turn, is creating a favorable scenario for the market's growth.
- According to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country ranks first globally in the production and sales of consumer electronics owing to its improved innovation and brand-building capacity. To continue to remain the major stakeholder in the consumer electronics sector, the government is making several efforts to boost productivity, computing, storage, and display industrial supply chains, along with integrating and innovating the development of new technologies in key industries.
- Another driving force is the growth of autonomous vehicles in this region. The Chinese government has been formulating technology standards and industry guidelines for autonomous vehicles. Beijing became the country's first city to allow open road tests for autonomous cars.
- Several leading players in the country are focusing on supporting the adoption of autonomous cars, thus fueling the market growth. For instance, in October 2023, Xpeng, a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) startup, announced expanding the use of its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) to 50 mainland cities to maintain an edge over the competitors in smart driving capabilities.
- The increasing demand for data centers also boosts the demand for memory components. For instance, in October 2023, local authorities announced that China's southwestern Province of Guizhou has 39 significant data centers in operation or under construction.
- Overall, the rising data centers and automotive sectors are expected to create massive demand for the market, and the demand from the consumer electronics sector is expected to be constant during the forecast period.
